WARSAW – River View High School Head Football Coach Bob Forgrave and his coaching staff held a football camp for over 40 players ranging from grades nine through 12 at Don Rushing Stadium. According to Forgrave, this year’s camp focuses heavily on perfecting the fundamentals of the game.
“Today the kids will do things such as stretch, work on agility, and they’ll be put into groups to work on skills specific to their position such as blocking, catching, route running, throwing the ball, and working on their defensive and offensive stances. Most of all we want the kids to learn how to play the game correctly while still going full speed,” said Forgrave.
Forgrave and his staff were also honored to have Chet Fuhrman guest speak at their camp this year as well. Fuhrman, who is no stranger to the game of football himself, has coached at every level of football and has been a member of teams such as Weber State University, Penn State University, and the Pittsburgh Steelers; where he ultimately received a Super Bowl ring as a member of the coaching staff.
Fuhrman expressed that when offered the chance to participate in this year’s football camp, he jumped on it.
“Bob and I have been friends for many years now and when he asked me if I could come and talk to the kids today, I didn’t hesitate. I always like to be around young kids and help promote not only football but also help them to get better in life as well,” said Fuhrman.
Coach Forgrave and his staff were pleased with the number of kids who came out and participated in this year’s football camp and they are greatly looking forward to seeing next year’s turnout as well.
